He leans back against the couch again and watches me, the playful expression still on his face.
Today, I’ve seen a side of this man that’s left me speechless.
This mafia boss who kills without blinking an eye and kisses like the devil is also a businessman with a playful side.
And I get the feeling I haven’t even scratched the surface. There’s a hell of a lot more to learn about him.
Chapter 28
Renzo
Leaning my shoulder against the doorjamb with my arms crossed over my chest, I watch Skylar as she sleeps.
The events of yesterday keep replaying in my mind.
Kissing her was not planned, and it only left me wanting more.
Remembering how she melted beneath me and kissed me back with a fuck ton of passion, the corner of my mouth lifts.
She might not like me, but she sure as fuck is attracted to me.
Talking with her until late into the night was also not planned, but I enjoyed every second of it.
The act she was putting on to flirt with me fell away, and I got to see her real smile and talk about something she’s passionate about.
Does it bother me that she’s trying to flirt with me in the hopes that I’ll free her?
Not one bit. It’s entertaining.
But this isn’t some Beauty and the Beast fairytale where she’ll get to return to her father. She belongs to me.
Forever.
Pushing away from the doorjamb, I walk closer to the side of the bed and stare down at the sleeping woman I was never supposed to fall for.
It’s only been three weeks, and I no longer have the desire to torture her.
I take in her slightly parted lips, her hands that are tightly fisted beneath her chin, and her body that’s curled in a fetal position.
Even while sleeping, she’s tense.
When I watched her in her bedroom at the Davies mansion, she used to sleep on her back with her fingers relaxed.
Sitting down on the side of the bed, I bring my hand to her hair, and pull my fingers through the strands.
They’re as soft as they look.
Letting out a sigh, I whisper, “What am I going to do with you?”
When I mentioned marriage to her last night, I saw the shock on her face. Skylar isn’t from my world, and she won’t just be a good little girl and say her vows.
If I threaten her father’s life, she will.
Remembering the attitude she gave me last night makes a smile tug at my lips.
She has some fight in her, after all.
As I continue to look at her, I become more and more curious. I want to see what she’s like when she’s happy.
